Y
equals that of the Greek Isles from what
I have seen.
You had to get there early to get a spot
in the narrow brick driveway but 5 T’s
and a NA shunted up tightly , check out
the photos by Terry Wright and TD
McNabb.
Statistically speaking.
Now at 3.45pm that afternoon we had
36 confirmed, 13 apologies, by 6.30pm
hardly any had arrived except John
Tamke , John Roach , Suzanne & my-
self however as he driveway filled to
capacity , 56 eventually signed in after
finding suitable parking .
There were 19 register cars , 16 T
Types , 2 Y & 1 Prewar NA.
Apart from the 56 signed in, there must
have been at least 10 other interested
spectators, curious onlookers and ga-
rage sniffers.
Great to see David Herbert who flew
himself up from Mt Gambier, Graham
Brown great TC stalwart , Kevin Mills
who has stories about the Y and of
course the Battle of Britain ambassador
Roland Harris in WW2 regalia T shirt.
And not to forget Doc Dallwitz fresh
from Melbourne and Los Angeles that
day & night, unfortunately the unregis-
tered TC was a casualty.

The DNA meeting,
Hannaford Rd Blackwood
es, “Dean ‘n’ Anne’s” very first Reg-
ister at 62 Hannaford Rd.
Dean , Dean it was super clean, what a
transformation it was from what I had
seen the week before, there is real
space and all those “spares” were
packed away in a fashion that would
only rival that garage at Torrens Park
that we go to.
I should not go on about it but it was a
great effort to present the garage for the
meeting and any spouse that wants the
same result should consider requesting
a register night from their relevant part-
ner. Brilliant result Anne !
Not only that the garden and the drive-
way looked spectacular as well espe-
cially from Hannaford Road where the
